Take the kids to the Royal Air Force Museum between 29th July and 4th August and they won't just see the museum's impressive collection of aircraft but they will also be treated to free falconry displays. Part of Wild Bird Week, the displays at 11.30am, 1.30pm, and 3.30pm on the museum's helipad introduce a different set of birds each day, either falcons, owls, hawks or eagles. Suitable for children of all ages, one lucky child will become Junior Falconer in Training on the day. Children will have also get the chance to handle an owl and have their photograph taken with these beautiful birds.

Britain's National Museum of Aviation, or RAF Museum, comprises several hundred thousand objects ranging in size from aircraft to lapel badges, and spanning more than a century of aviation history. The Historic Hangars, listed buildings that were part of the old Hendon Aerodrome, contain five exhibitions with an impressive collection of over 100 full-sized aircraft, some suspended from the ceiling, as if in flight.
